MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This appliance and its venting system
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service person. The appliance area must
be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids. The fl ow of
combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
A. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs, rocks and/or glass to
expose both assemblies.
B. Keep the control compartment, media, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs
clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
C. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or
are not burning properly.
D. Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the fl ame sensor and/or thermocouple /
thermopile as well as reaches the burner.
E. Replace the cleaned logs, rocks or glass. Failure to properly position the media may cause carboning
which can be distributed in the surrounding living area.
F. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when turned on. A 5 to 10
second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your local authorized dealer /
distributor.
G. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if
necessary.
H. If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled, re-install and re-seal per the instructions
provided for the initial installation.

12.1 OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR PILOT CLEANING

This procedure must be performed by a
qualified service person!
Inspect the pilot for any visible
contamination or debris (usually lint, pet
hair, spider webs, carpet fibre, etc.) and remove.
Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line,
using a 7/16" wrench. Blow out the housing in
the same direction as the gas flow. Re-install
the pilot tube, turn on the gas and check
for leaks.
If this does not improve the performance,
replace the ODS with an exact replacement. The
device is tamper resistant with no field serviceable
parts.

12.2 CARE OF PLATED PARTS

If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you must clean fi ngerprints or other marks from the plated
surfaces before operating the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the fi rst time, the marks can cause permanent blemishes on
the plating. After the plating is cured, the fi ngerprints and oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance
is required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause
discolouration on plated parts.
NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room
temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat
source.
